Accreditation
Wemos is recognized as a public benefit organization (PBO, or ANBI) by the Dutch tax authorities. The ANBI status guarantees, among other things, that we do not have the objective of financial gain, that at least 90% of our efforts are committed to the public benefit, and that we meet strict integrity requirements. Wemos has also been recognized by the Netherlands Fundraising Regulator (CBF), and certified as an equivalent to a Certified Public Charity by NGOsource (Equivalency Determination).

CBF
The Recognition (‘Erkenning’ in Dutch) is the quality mark for charities issued by the Central Bureau for Fundraising (CBF), the Supervisory Authority for Charities. With this Recognition, organizations show that they have been closely reviewed and meet strict quality requirements.
Naturally, different requirements apply to larger organizations than to smaller ones. No less than 4.4 billion euros in donation money is supervised by the CBF. A CBF seal of approval guarantees that the organization you are contributing to truly contributes to a better world, handles every euro carefully, is accountable, and is independently audited.
